What teams does Didcot Cricket Club have and how do I join?

Updated

Didcot Cricket Club is a welcoming club in South Oxfordshire with outstanding facilities. Its senior section has 5 teams playing in the Cherwell League, plus 2 more teams, and the club runs a junior section with age-group sides such as U11s. To join, use the "join" or "Login" entry points on the club website to create an account; the site also lists a Teams section where you can see the different sides.

Teams at Didcot Cricket Club

Based on the club's own site description, the playing structure is:

Section What the club states
Senior 5 teams in the Cherwell League, plus 2 further teams
Junior Age-group cricket, with U11 fixtures reported (e.g. vs Goring, Aston Rowant, Sonning, Thame Town)

The junior side is active rather than nominal: the site carries match reports for U11 fixtures across the season and photo albums from junior awards and age-group games. If you are looking for a team for a child, the U11 reports are the clearest evidence that this level is running.

How to join

The website provides a "join" link and a "Login" area with a "Create Account" option. The practical route is:

  1. Open the club website and find the "join" or "Login" entry.
  2. Choose "Create Account" if you are new.
  3. Register with an email address and password, or use the "Login with facebook" option shown on the login panel.
  4. Once registered, use the site's Teams and Matches sections to see which side fits your age or level, and use the Contact Information page to ask about availability.

Expected result: you get an account on the club's site and a route to contact the club about a specific team. Note that the login panel also has a "Forgotten your password?" link if you already have an account.

Checking fixtures and activity before you commit

Before joining, it is worth confirming that a suitable team is actually playing. The site's Matches and News sections carry recent results and reports, for example U11 fixtures against Goring, Aston Rowant, Sonning and Thame Town, with dates through the season. The Media section holds videos and photo albums, including junior awards and match clips. This gives you a realistic picture of how often a given age group plays.

Where to find the club

The site lists the ground address as Greenwood Way, Didcot, Oxfordshire, OX11 6EY. The Contact Information page is the place to raise specific questions about joining a particular team, and the site also links to the Cherwell League, a club kit shop, and net booking.

Common sticking points

  • The site does not publish fees, membership prices or trial arrangements in the material available, so treat cost and commitment as something to confirm directly with the club.
  • Registration on the website is not the same as being selected for a team; use the contact route to confirm a place.
  • If you only need contact details or the location, the Contact Information page and the Greenwood Way address cover that without registering.
